Don't wish your life away!

And related to the expression Marash Girl recorded yesterday is the advice she always gave her son when he would wish that Christmas (or his birthday, or summer, or snow)  would hurry up and get here!

"Don't wish your life away."

Marash Girl should have written the book on mindfulness long before it became chique!

Or she should have been aware of the Armenian expression she recorded yesterday:

Ուշ ըլլայ, անուշ ըլլայ:

That would have been a kinder way of putting it!
